Chewy Chocolate Cookies

Yesterday I took advantage of some extra time and made cookies.  It's been a while since I made cookies! 



It was difficult to decide what kind to make.  Obviously, it had to involve chocolate.  We had some peanut butter chips, and the two are always a winning combination.  I used the recipe on the back of the package, which is also available online here.


One of my favorite cookie shortcuts is to use a small ice cream scoop to get fairly uniformly sized cookies.


Here's the first batch to come out of the oven.  They were a bit under-baked.  As you can see, I had to sample them to assess whether they were fully cooked....


This photo shows all the cookies cooling . The second batch got baked a little longer and got just a bit darker.  They were still chewy, not over-baked - just perfect! We sampled them through the day, but hopefully most of them will still be around when our friends come over tonight. 

 Stay tuned for upcoming posts about lentil dal, and a crochetd dishcloth.
